Dear Editor,<\/p>\n
For months I have periodically written about Sustainable Development (Agenda 21) and because of that UN Directive, I joined up with New Yorkers for Property Rights which is a group of us throughout New York trying to inform “we the people” of what is to come, and what is happening to our property rights.\u00a0I’m handling Tioga County and will continue to keep you informed.\u00a0Remember, Sustainable Development is after a 50 percent land grab of our properties coming in various forms from grants\/loans from HUD, EPA, DEC\u00a0and DOT.<\/p>\n
As Tioga County is mostly agricultural, the land grab is coming through in Conservation Easements and PDR’s (Purchase of Development Rights).\u00a0What you apply for and what comes back to you will be entirely different and could even change for the worse.\u00a0You will need your own lawyer on this as the\u00a0fine print allows the State to change things.\u00a0You may even not be able to step foot on that property again.<\/p>\n
The minute a landowner signs up for PDR\/CE, the land trust becomes the dominant holder of the estate (property) and the landowner becomes “servient” to the trust.\u00a0The\u00a0land trust also has partial control of the balance of the land not eased.<\/p>\n
Land Trusts can trade or resell the eased portion of land to another land trust (can be from another state) which may place more stringent requirements on the landowner.\u00a0The tax burden from the land trusts then falls onto your community \/ county.\u00a0The land trusts\/easements are another form of government control.\u00a0 Check out Finger Lakes Land Trust on the web to see how aggressive this plan is turning.<\/p>\n
Again, the EPA and DEC can come onto your property without a warrant and they are armed.\u00a0If they deem your property a “wetland” or find endangered species on your property, you’ve lost that land.<\/p>\n
Zoning Changes – HUD\u00a0wants us to all live together (low\/middle\/upper class people)\u00a0so zoning changes have to be made to accomplish this.\u00a0Westchester County has suffered on this – another way for higher taxes if stipulations\/strings attached to loans\/grants are not met.<\/p>\n
I’ve lived in Apalachin (Tioga County) for\u00a0over 40 years and like it.\u00a0We don’t need more government control in our area nor do we need higher taxes put onto us.\u00a0 Contact me at sgumble21@gmail.com for further information.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Sandy Gumble<\/p>\n
